Abstract
Birdshot chorioretinopathy, also known as vitiliginous chorioretinitis , is a rare and serious retinochoroidopathy. We describe a case in a p atient with long-standing typical psoriasis. To our knowledge this ass ociation has not been previously reported in the dermatologic literatu re. Both psoriasis and chorioretinitis appeared to respond to aromatic retinoids. The incidence of birdshot chorioretinopathy in patients wi th psoriasis should be assessed.
